Internal Revenue Service stockpiles ammunition while civilians face shortages: Report
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., joins 'Jesse Watters Primetime' to sound off on the Internal Revenue Service reportedly buying ammunition despite President Biden's claims about firearms.
House Judiciary Committee Member Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., sounded off Tuesday on news that the Internal Revenue Service, Railroad Retirement Board and other federal agencies have been stocking up on thousands of rounds of ammunition as civilians face shortages and President Biden continues to claim no one needs such volumes of bullets.

Undeniably, part of the strategy is that with one hand, the Biden regime is doing everything they can to suppress access to ammunition for regular Americans, while with the other hand, they are scooping up all the ammo that they can possibly find.
